War memoir from a coastal outpost garrison tale
A vivid World War II style diary fragment describes transport chaos at a remote island base. Soldiers drift ashore by boat as the 4th Platoon retreats into woods while Capt Dad and HQ Ca. scramble aboard a seasick vessel. The narrator, an orderly, shelters under a pop tent umbrella and jokes about sentries and Navy complaints. The piece trims toward a looming company clerk capture and typing duty.
